I learned why curly hair is drier than straight hair. It’s because the oil from your scalp cannot go straight down the hair shaft. I believe this is true even when your hair is straightened because the strand itself is triangle shaped instead of round.

I’m 62 and have been fighting my curly hair since I was 15. That’s a long battle. I’ve learned everything I can to aid me in the battle. My stylist also said that for times when I’m straightening it myself, whether a flat iron or roundbrush and hair dryer, to hold the bit you’re working on straight out after you’ve roundbrush or flatironed for a few seconds. This allows the hair to cool down a little andaids in the process.

Just passing on some esoteric knowledge that anyone who has fought this battle may have missed. Thanks for posting, Slim!

Merry Christmas to me! Seriously Slim, thank you so much. They recently discontinued the only conditioner I have used that actually worked on my parched hair. I used it everyday, and the instructions were to use it twice a month, if that gives you a clue how completely dry my hair is. I’ve been so bummed! My hair seems to get drier every year as I’m afraid years of highlights have completely caught up with me. I wasn’t sure wether to choose “fine and damaged” or about five other categories, none complimentary, that apply to my once glorious mane. I cannot wait to get my hands on this stuff. If it works half as well on me, as it does on you, I’m going to so owe you! Thank you again and I’ll let you know how it works as I’ve just placed my order.

Hi Pam
Firstly, WHY do they always discontinue the BEST products? Drives me crazy!
I had to laugh about the ‘categories’ as I was so excited about “LOVE” that I also went to the Davines website to try a couple of other products (I read their “OI” line is also great for frizzy hair) and was dismayed to find I could check so many boxes :-0 (btw, my hair is not coarse, although those new, uh, ‘silver’ troops arriving could be changing THAT situation)

Hello!
I have to write and thank you: first, for your blog and Instagram. They are absolutely delightful (that is, WHEN you post 😉

Secondly, the biggest thank you is for the Davines recommendation! I have tried every product in every price range and the love shampoo and conditioner are the first that have made any difference to my hair. I know you know what a big deal this is, so thanks to you and your friend for the love!

I have tried so many different products for my thick, frizzy hair. I trust your reccomendations and ordered the Davines products last week. I LOVE the LOVE!! It is really working and I am a happy woman. Thanks so much Slim! (P.S. I also love your reccomendation, especially this time of year, for the Trader Joe’s Spicy Chai Tea Latte Mix). Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
